Bernard (bishop of Płock)
Early life
Although originally from Masovia, Bernards father was banished for some reason during the Lithuanian wars, as were his family. Bernard joined the Dominican order and was confessor of Pope innocent VI.
Career
As an advocated for missionary work in Wallachia he was sent to Milkowa where, as a result of the death Clement Pierzchały was appointed of the Bishop of Płock by Innocent VIon October 11, 1357. Bernard was Bishop of Milkowa from 1353 until 1357 and Bishop of Płock from 1357 unto 1363.
In 1360 he was negotiating with the Teutonic Knights, but these negotiations failed. By April 1363 opposition from both his superior the Archbishop of Gniezno Yaroslav and the new Pope Urban V saw Bernard fall from favour.
gollark: I hope I don't have to do English exams though. I hate English Literature/Language the subjects and especially the exams. I got higher Latin and Ancient Greek grades than English in the mock exams.
gollark: Ah, so they're maybe postponed then and the government is being ambiguous.
gollark: 🦀 I DON'T HAVE TO DO STUPID ENGLISH LANGUAGE/LITERATURE PAPERS
gollark: 🦀 EXAMS ARE ALSO GONE (or possibly postponed but this is unlikely)
gollark: I quite like the real economy integration, gives a sense of unpredictability.
